Welcome to HR Wallingford's events website

Here you'll find information about our programme of seminars, workshops, courses and conferences - simply click on an event title for more details.

HR Wallingford provides world-leading analysis, advice and support in engineering and environmental hydraulics and in the management of water and the water environment. Our open programme of events covers a wide range of topical subjects in this area. Regular fixtures include

  • Armourstone Users Group Meeting
  • River Hydrology and Hydraulics Course
  • Flood risk analysis and Management Course.


  • Events covering flood management, urban drainage, engineering materials, coastal engineering and structures also make regular appearances on our programme. With all these events, our overriding aim is to present current information on best practice techniques and regulations as well as emerging technologies.

    Our seminars and workshops are designed to bring together the leading national and international authorities to present up-to-date information to delegates drawn from the water, environment and civil engineering industries. Our longer courses aim to develop the participants' ability to adopt current best practice techniques, and to apply new research, under the guidance of experienced engineers and researchers by including practical exercises and discussion groups.

    In addition to our open programme of events we also provide structured courses, either based on our standard course materials or specially prepared, to organisations throughout the world. HR Wallingford also has an impressive track record in institutional strengthening through technology collaboration and transfer, which includes major projects in Venezuela, Vietnam, Hong Kong, China, India, Bangladesh, Philippines and Indonesia.

    Offshore renewable energy summer school (part of IDCORE 2013)

    Offshore renewable energy summer school (part of IDCORE 2013)

    Monday 22 July to Friday 2 August 2013

    The offshore renewable energy summer school is a two-week course hosted by HR Wallingford. The summer school is designed to deliver an industry focused course that aims to expand and sustain a community of high-quality staff for the UK offshore renewable energy industry.

    The first summer school in this series was held at HR Wallingford in 2012 and attended by engineers from the Edinburgh / Strathclyde / Exeter Industrial Doctorate Centre in Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE), and by other research students. Building on the success of this summer school, extra places are available for this year's course, in addition to those allocated to IDCORE participants.

    Exposed jetties, piers and dolphins course

    Exposed jetties, piers and dolphins course

    Date to be confirmed

    This one day course is primarily focussed on the prediction of wave forces on the upper parts of piers, elevated jetties, and similar types of suspended decks over water. Any wave loads on elevated beams and decks can be particularly destructive as most such structures were originally designed to be elevated above wave crests. With future sea levels projected to rise by around 1m, many existing structures may encounter wave loads in future for which they were not designed.

    For further course details and to register your interest, contact us.
